• My sincerest condolences to my special friend Julie, Deb & Mark. It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to a friend I held in highest esteem. A true English gentleman with an impeccable work ethic, a zest for life and a keen sense of humour. Al & Julie, Tony & I had met at the Westview Dance Club. There was an instant connection and we remained friends throughout the years. We enjoyed so many parties, dances, social events, trips, and of coarse the odd cocktail. These special times will be etched in my memory forever. Through the laughter & the tears....... - I will remember you- - Posted by: Anita Stenders (Friend) on: Sep 13, 2020

• I first met Al and Julie Harris when I joined the Manitoba Art Expo, I first saw them at the meeting before the show, but I didn’t get to talk to them. Julie first approached me to talk to me about my art, she thought I brought some new life into the show. They have been nothing but nice to me thought-out my time with the show and were supportive when I decided to leave. My wife and I had the chance to visit them at their home and spent time with them outside the show, it was a visit we will never forget. We were devastated when we heard of Al’s passing, our thoughts and prayers are with Julie and their family. We wish we could visit, but because of the current situation we can’t. Al was a special friend to us, we were happy we got to know him. We will miss him dearly… Jeff & Dionne Nepinak - Posted by: Jeff Nepinak (Friend) on: Sep 02, 2020

• Al Harris was an incredible man and raised some beautiful poultry and fowl. For many years Al was involved in the Cluck and Quack Poultry club and served on its Executive. I had the pleasure of serving on the board of the poultry club with him for a couple of years and learning so much about poultry raising from him. He was a mentor for me and I am honored to have some of his poultry supplies passed down to me a few years ago when he retired from birds. I enjoyed the tours of his bird facility and beautiful gardens, and the time I came down for tea. Al, you will be greatly missed. You always had time to talk and help educate and share your vast knowledge, whether it was poultry or how to build a stone driveway. Your knowledge of birds and time served with the Club will forever be remembered. From Kylie Wasiuta and on behalf of the Cluck and Quack Poultry Club and its Executive. - Posted by: Kylie Wasiuta (Mentor and a friend) on: Aug 17, 2020

• Al, we will miss you. Your friendship, and dear neighbor for 52 years! The great times we had together as a couple with you and Julie, the dinners, the dances, the pool parties, all great memories ! Your abilities to solve problems, both on the job or on your farm, with all the specialty types of fowl you raised as a hobby, yes, including wild turkeys, and peacocks!! You were a very unusual, man, capable of doing any kind of work from building a stone -wall driveway to the gorgeous flowers you and Julie grew. And, thanks for all the advice and help you gave me over all these years. Have a great new Journey, Russ and Edna Edwards - Posted by: Russ and Edna Edwards (Freind and Neighbor) on: Aug 15, 2020
